      Funny they didn't show the part where the muffler fell off.

        Bike it too "angular" for me.
        Twin shocks replacing the mono, would be interesting to know how they work in real life.
        Motion picture is a span or two beyond the average.

          With retro being in and angular being shoved down our throats by the manufacturers,I thought it was a good mod-stock on a bike which I am fond of.

            Of course I did not mean to diminish the effort, just expressing my personal view...

            It's a case of starting with a near perfect equilibrium of shapes, lines and volumes and having to possibly better it....

              How do you drive with no headlight at night?

                of course... with oil cooling, they could have gone the Honda SP1 way (with respect of how they placed the water rads);

                another thing I often find with builders is, they do not envisage the use of a license plate too, for it will spoil the "vue d'ensamble" of their creation ...
